I think I'm going to try the titebond foam canoe trip mentioned above. The bow tank is in good shape and really only needs a little foam added on the sides. The stern needs more foam but I'm pretty sure that the original billet is going to be really hard to get out through the smallish hole at...
How long ago did you die this repair?
I did a little reading and some days the box store stuff isn't great if the skin gets broken because it will absorb water. This makes me mean more towards cleaning out the crusty foam and sealing the end up with glass. (Possibly kevlar too see how hard it...
That's would certainly save a step if I'm not refilling the bulkhead with more foam.
It also looks like you didn't remake the deck plates. What's the black Velcro looking thing on the top of the bulkhead?
That makes a lot of sense and was kind of what I was thinking. I think I'll cut back the kevlar a little too make it easier to clean out the stern bulkhead. Did you just use regular spray foam from one of the box stores?
I just took the old gunwales off the malecite I bought last fall. There was rot in both ends of the gunwales and I noticed some mouse nest debris in the stern. And that is obviously not sealed
The bow is in great shape
It looks like that the foam is pre-cut and placed in the bulkhead space...
